Epigraph: Painter, if you would vie with Nature's workmanship

In limning of this king whose honors reach the skies,

Paint Pallas on his head, Mercury on his hip,

Marks on his countenance, and Love within his eyes.
Peintre a sin que ton art imite la Nature,

Au tableau de ce Roy dont l'honneur touche aux Cieux,

Pein sur son chef Pallas, sur ses leures Mercure,

Mars dessus son visage, & l'amour dan ses yeux.
First words: I believe that you are not unaware, kind reader, what a great and painstaking task I earlier undertook to depict and publish the large number of excellent needlework patterns contained in the present book, which, as was only ... (show all)just, were dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen.
